Card Grid
A card grid repeats cards that can be compared. The number of columns changes with the available space.
Another example
A template gallery changes from four columns to two, then one. Its cards never shrink until they're hard to use.
Main parts
- 01Outer constraint
- 02Content and spacing model
- 03Computed size or reflow result
Use it when
Use it for items of the same kind that share the same information structure.
Do not use it when
Never use it when people need to compare numbers across rows.

repeat(auto-fit, minmax()) Before you ship
Check content order, shared design values, component consistency, contrast, zoom, and layout changes by screen size. Verify every theme, language, and state. If there is motion, offer an equal reduced-motion experience.
Outcome: Use or define Card Grid to make the visual experience clear and easy to use. User context: A template gallery changes from four columns to two, then one. Its cards never shrink until they're hard to use. Design concept to apply: Card Grid. Why it fits: Use it for items of the same kind that share the same information structure. Do not use it when: Never use it when people need to compare numbers across rows. Design requirements: Set the content order, shared design values, and reusable components. Define how the layout changes by screen size and state. Keep useful design choices separate from decoration. Inclusion and resilience: Check contrast, zoom, languages, themes, and reduced motion when needed. Do not use color or effects as the only way to show meaning. Acceptance criteria: The design stays clear on phones and desktops, at zoom, in every theme, and in all supported languages. Interactive states stay clear and consistent. Evidence and limits (evidence boundary): No single official standard controls the whole term. Its meaning may change across teams, platforms, or frameworks. Unknowns to confirm: Brand limits, amount of content, supported themes and languages, target devices, and design-system rules.
